OPENING LOG.

Characters: Everyone!
Date: August 11th
Rating/Warnings: Nothing as of yet. Mark anything that qualifies a warning in your subject line!
Summary: Arrivals.
You want happiness. A company called RECOVERjoy has offered it to you, so you've signed up with them. Gaining happiness can't hurt, right?

Suddenly you're in a room, an apartment, with three other beds and unfamiliar faces. This is your assigned room, and it's quite crowded. You don't get much of a chance to think as your phone beeps--it's not your phone, maybe you've never had a phone, but there's one in your hand so you check it. It's a smart phone, nothing special about it, but now you've received a text from RECOVERjoy.

Welcome to Joywick! We're so happy to have you!

You've arrived in your assigned room, we hope you like it! Don't worry, you can move out once you've collected enough joypoints. Speaking of, if you'd like to check your balance, there's a special application that tracks it for you right on your phone! Handy, right?

... Did you check? If you did, you'll notice you have no joypoints. But don't despair! We're giving you a special mission. Make three (3) friends and get 200 joypoints! Gee, that's easy! Of course, we can't put a level on something like friendship, so just get to know people. Don't miss out on these easy points! We'll give you more information about joypoints once you're done.

Wishing you happiness,
RECOVERjoy : )


You're in this for 1 million joypoints, aren't you? Might as well get started.

(AFTER THE MISSION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED OR ONCE 24 HOURS HAVE PASSED)

You receive another text from RECOVERjoy.

Great job on the mission! Or not so great job for those who didn't do it. : (

Well, you probably want more joypoints either way. Here's how! Look for another person. I bet they look fairly happy, right? Why are they happier than you? Because they've got the joypoints you need! The only way to get those joypoints is to steal theirs. How? Take their happiness away. It's easy! Maybe a rumor here, an injury there... but if you want the big points, be creative!
You want to be happy, don't you?

Wishing you happiness,
RECOVERjoy : )


... Not quite what you expected when you signed up. You can't leave, though, you still owe RECOVERjoy 500 joypoints and, well, you came here for a reason.
sockswithsandals: (very spooky)

[Now, we're not saying that sounds like really obvious compensating...

But it sounds like really obvious compensating. Some of us here are seasoned veterans of making Real Adults piss themselves in terror, anyway, so watch out Bami-chan, he's laughing at you.]


Everyone's afraid of something!

[And he is going to find out what that something is!! is what this ridiculous expression on his face is probably saying.]
protagonisnt: (#503 Varnish Error)

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-14 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Don't capitalise those words. That's oppression. Ageism and oppression! And don't make that face as if you know he's not telling the truth. ]

Even if you make that face...even if you look like that! I won't admit you're right and I won't tell you what I'm scared of. Your creepy facial expression isn't making me feel uncomfortable and I'm not hanging out in a library to avoid a larger crowd. You see, there's nothing to be afraid of in this world or the next.

[ He adds some flailing for good measure. That'll make it convincing. Yeah.

Are you convinced? Here, have a throat-clearing and a manga reference for good measure. ]


Although D.Gray-man was pretty scary, but it used to be a Weekly Shounen Jump title. I don't know if I'd actually put it on the list of things that scare me.
sockswithsandals: (nakashimaaaaa)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Age Ism* fixed that for you. The faces will continue. Bami, what are you saying, I thought you weren't going to look at him. Jeez.

This is so convincing it has made him back off and look apologetic and no I'm lying, he's laughing again.]


Okay, okay. You don't have to tell me that I'm right, and I won't tell you that there are plenty of things to fear, whether they're logical or not. Very good. We'll call it even.

[dgm isn't even scary nice try loser]
protagonisnt: (#Spoilers: I fucked up)

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-14 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Don't laugh at children, you creepy actual adult. Get a life.

But thanks for giving his personal space back. It's enough to make a guy sigh in relief. ]


What's the deal with you and scary stuff? It's weird for someone to be obsessed with just one thing.

[ Inner thoughts of Bami right now: manga manga manga manga manga manga manga shoes manga manga manga shoes manga. ]
sockswithsandals: (part 2)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-14 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[What is a life. Maybe that's what Yotsuya is actually afraid of; being a real person.

Watch out, I'm about to become one of those unoriginal RPers who puts canon lines in tags, this is a grievous offense I should leave]


I just love horror stories.
protagonisnt: (#Characters who won't be in the anime)

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-17 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Did I ever tell you how I think that icon is hilarious? ]

Horror stories about pigeons?

[ Yeah. He's still on that. Because the inside of his brain looks something like this. ]
sockswithsandals: (you got peanut butter in my chocolate)

this is why you wanted that gif................ omfg vycey pls

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-17 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[I think most of these icons are hilarious, it's okay.

Yotsuya pauses, having completely forgotten he even brought up that pigeon shit. Oh, right...]


Could be. [....] Not everything I read is a horror story, you know.

[Is that... is that how you think? One Genre to Rule Them All?]
protagonisnt: That wasn't an Akira Toriyama joke. (#More like Weekly Shonen SLUMP)

you know you love it

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-17 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That is pretty much how it works, yes. And that genre is deep and meaningful deconstructions, for the record. ]

Even after that I just love horror stories line? Well, I guess you didn't say I love just horror stories so I guess I can forgive you for misleading me.

[ He is hilarious. ]
sockswithsandals: (ass ass ass ass)

you caught me

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-17 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Next you'll wow me with how Medaka Box is a parody.]

You know the word means more than "only." [Critical Gaze] Don't be pedantic.

[Bami, it is a dumb idea to make semantics jokes with someone who does nothing with his life except play with words. Now you're both embarrassing.]
protagonisnt: (#FML)

Red Handler

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-17 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Why are you so anti-semantic? Anyway, awful jokes aside, Bami is allowed to play with words as long as his stupid mystery canon abilities are based on such behaviour.

How many times must I ask you to stop this oppression? ]


Sorry, but could you cut it out with your critical gaze? It's still unsettling.
sockswithsandals: (more like bakashima)

i'm gonna hit u

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-17 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[There aren't even words for all the ridiculous things happening here. I'm going to steal your icons, and I'm not going to credit them. How's that for oppression? It's a full-scale Graphic Offence.

That has nothing to do with this tag at all.]


You're not even looking at me.
protagonisnt: (#People who are better than you)

Hypocritical Hit

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-17 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ But the icons say DNS on them! Beans and I will be very very upset with you. It'll be all over ACJ before you know it. ]

I don't need you to pick up my slack. You can consider it a favour between new friends, even.

[ Because only nice people like Meda-nee deserve to be looked at. Everyone else longs to be half ignored. ]
sockswithsandals: (it's a bone)

i think you've used that one before

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-17 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, now you're making third parties take sides. Look at what you've become.]

You raise a good point.

[But he's ignoring it, ha ha.]
protagonisnt: (#Characters who won't be in the anime)

I have. It's one of my favourites. But what does it say about us that we can have favourites?

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-17 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Could he maybe go so far as to ignore Bami as well? That'd be nice. ]

Don't be so surprised. It has been known to happen on occasion.
sockswithsandals: (he he he 8^y)

we are very great is what it says

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-18 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no Bami, we're friends now. Welcome aboard.]

I'm not surprised. I'm not convinced, either.
protagonisnt: (#Things I don't care about)

look here is the tag you wanted ;V

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-20 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Welcome aboard? This is the worst metaphorical train ride since Enigma Act 2.

Or was that a literal train ride? Who knows! It sucked that badly. ]


Not convinced it happens, or not convinced I can pick up my own slack? Be more direct, Yotsuya.

[ Sounds weird without the honorific. He makes a note to drop it down to Suya or something at a later date. ]
Edited (Unfortunate Mistype) 2012-08-20 18:58 (UTC)
sockswithsandals: (dead girls can't pay checks)

oh my how swift ;Y

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-20 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[LALALA I CAN'T HEAR THE SOUND OF ENIGMA RUINING MY LIFE LALA

Anyway, the critical gaze debate.]


Not convinced I should listen to you.

[S-suya... that's so ridiculous. Bami please.]
protagonisnt: (#FML)

and then the reply came hours later

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-20 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ What do you expect with a Weekly Shounen Jump manga? Insert Bami rant about how shallow battle manga is the only viable option for the WSJ model. Or don't, 'cause I'll probably have to use that one at some point.

Also Suya is a great name. It could be worse. ]


Haven't you been listening to me for this whole conversation?

[ Bami, didn't you say something about being more direct? And quit implying this entire thread has been anything more than two people talking at each other with fleeting moments of talking to. ]
sockswithsandals: (friendship is gross)

Delayed Reaction

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-20 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Suya sounds like a girl's name.]

Listen to your request to stop looking at you, I mean.

[Bami, stop playing with semantics, you aren't cool.]
protagonisnt: (#Spoilers: I fucked up)

Well Bami does never dodge the first hit ;V

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-20 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Buntaro sounds like a hamster's name.

And I already told you he is allowed to play with semantics!!! ]


Ah, of course. Then should I be on the lookout for a love letter in my shoebox sometime soon?

[ He truly hopes the answer is no. ]
sockswithsandals: (dead girls can't pay checks)

pls

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-20 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[No... stop shut up no one even knows that name. Shh.

He can't play with semantics because he won't even play well with others.

Yotsuya thinks about the logistics of this letter-that-won't-happen; mostly, if Bami won't look at him, how far does his inability to look at things go-]


Would you even be able to read a letter?

[It's!! a valid question! Maybe because anything Yotsuya writes down is going to look a little like someone was dying at the time? Spooky penmanship.]
protagonisnt: (#Characters who won't be in the anime)

Remember when that arc was really dumb?

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-20 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The only characters Bami can't look at are other people. ]

Yes. I'm an adult, so obviously I can read.

[ Since that is what Hamtaro meant. ]
sockswithsandals: (hair.......)

no it was super serious and a real deconstruction how dare you insult the holiness

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-20 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[...of I-didn't-know-it-was-a-parody Box.

Stop calling him Hamtaro.]


Kids can read.
protagonisnt: (#Important feels!!!)

Yes and everything everyone says is super deep (Spoken Leagues) and meaningful

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-20 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...and not a parody of every other shounen trope.

Also fine. For now. ]


Ah, so you agree it's obvious that I can read. So why shouldn't I be able to read a letter? You already know I read manga, so your question is kind of pointless. The written word is no different from the written word which has been slapped onto pictures and sold to readers on a monthly basis. Am I wrong?
sockswithsandals: (j/k)

the water here is shallow

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-20 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you think I'm creepy, so maybe your intense phobia of eye contact would put you off looking at something from me. Because of the association.

No?
